Why This is the ONLY Watch You Need | Seiko Flightmaster (SNA411)

[@scrumpymanjack]

My mother gave this watch to me about 5 years ago because she knew that I loved. Then, when I moved countries three years ago, the removal people stole it. I never had the heat to to tell my mother, who I lost in September. I would do anything to cross the path of those removal people again!

[@Deboniako]

May I suggest you to buy a new watch? I know it wouldn't be the same one as the stolen one, but at least it would hel you reminder of your mother and the great love she had for you.

[@scrumpymanjack]

@@Deboniako Thank you for your thoughts. Yes, I would like to very much but the model is now no longer in production, which means buying it second hand. I don't mind that but it's just a bit trickier etc.

[@justmeeagainn]

You lost her in September? Did you ever find her?

[@scrumpymanjack]

@@justmeeagainn "Lost" means that she died. Are you making jokes about this?

The trick is to buy THIN (1mm) NATO straps. You can squeeze those thru the gap between the case and the spring bar and change straps in about a minute (without removing the bar). The 1mm NATOs are very comfortable and conform to your wrist better than thicker NATOs. The Flighty is still in production; Seiko just moved production from Japan to China.

[@journeyman6752]

Japan to China... That's the problem.

[@KRW628]

Earlier this year, I made the TVG jump to the NDC strap. You' have to remove the spring bars to install the strap, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

[@M3LTUP]

I have had mine for about 8yrs. Never any problem. The short lug makes it hard to fit a nato strap. Technically it is a pilot watch not a diver. So a two piece leather , canvas or bracelet is proper attire. Its an amazing watch.

[@dalegamble1173]

I have mine on a Barton silicone strap, the yellow on the strap matches the Seiko perfectly

[@ProfessorCarlo]

Hey bro, do you have a link or pic?

[@andrewlim5562]

Cheers and thanks for the shoutout. Agree that the most painful process was getting the MN nato strap in between the lugs. Made sure to not change the strap thereafter.

[@wayneturner1336]

I just removed the bars and laid the strap across the watch between the lugs and reinstalled the bars. Seemed to work fine.

[@WesWatchRoom]

Looks awesome, I've always wanted one myself but think I missed the boat on getting a good deal. Thanks for the review

[@MisterManseattle]

Good video. I love my flighty! Have you seen the president bracelet for the Flighty at Uncle Seiko? Looks cool on a bracelet that tapers and fits specifically for it.

[@lkingwell]

I share your sentiment on this one. I looked at it years ago and thought it was a real jumble and no way for me! Time passed and it started to look more and more attractive. Managed to purchase a used one in good condition. I think these are an appreciating classic.

[@corychecketts]

I just got one for Father’s Day and really like it. I put mine on a elastic band, which seems to be the thing to do.

[@ritul89]

Bought it 3+ years ago and I don't regret it at all. Still on the bracelet but now thinking of getting a dark brown depressed band which I'm sure would look great...

[@RonSommar]

Truly a great watch, really. And I was critical when I heard Seiko... but: it’s just great.

[@EmHotep4520]

Is this watch battery powered?

[@stewartskiba7310]

what size is the strap. can you say what version of the stop? thanks

[@watcheswithabdullah]

It's a 20mm strap. Even though the watch has a 21mm lug width, it can still fit 20mm straps. Just that there will be a small gap between the lugs. But it's hardly noticeable when you're wearing the watch. This is a Pueblo leather strap from Nomad Watch Works.

[@farhadnaqvi]

I seen in different site, now its coming with differ variations with strap and leather belt?

[@BridgeIsSky]

What's your wrist size?

[@beverleynesbitt5406]

I have mine on a black 22mm rubber tropic no problem’s

[@ragetobe]

May I ask where you got the light tan leather strap please? I edit: I watched further in and found the brand, thank you.

[@watcheswithabdullah]

Got it from Nomad Watch Works. It's one of their vintage buttero straps 😊

[@miktison1999]

The brown strap, 20mm?

[@newagemac]

Which strap are you using? That brown leather looks immaculate!

[@nitsan]

Great review. I agree it's awesome. Wearing mine right now. I make really good natos that fit if you'd like me to send one over.

[@watcheswithabdullah]

Thanks for your support Nitsan! Sure, that''ll be great. Feel free to reach out on my Insta 😊

[@wilsonlyt5765]

@@watcheswithabdullah facing the same problem before buying this watch, it just looks too informative by the look itself. Curious to ask, after using this watch after a period of time yourself, do you find it too informative to even read or it just actually seems fine for your reading? Would it look weird for it to be an everyday watch?

[@michaelhaugaard3111]

Nice review : ) But the tan leather strap looks sub-par quality ? Glad you showed the REAL (and only) strap for this watch - the MN in green and yellow : ) Albeit the Flighty will take a number of other straps graciously. The bracelet is good quality indeed, but strange in both dimensions and proportions (just my take on the matter). The Flighty is a must in every watch collectors line-up and I am never going to part with mine : )

[@chickenporkadob0]

got mine new for $235. when i checked again in the store, it's sold out.

[@bryanguest2807]

Paid 190 used with some scratches. I wear my watches so I dont mind them. If i got it new id probably keep it mint in the box. Easily a $5-600 watch shortly after the day they discontinue. Might replace the crystal with saphire when its up for a battery change.

[@abdulraheemc.101]

Intresting

[@artkingofwholefoods74]

I ADORE/LOVE MY flighty. :)❤ I’m going to CHERISH it forever, or as long as God blesses me. I wear it with the metal bracelet, but sometimes I use a thick espresso/stitched leather strap. :) I got a beautiful one for 300 bucks on eBay. cool video! 👍🏼

[@ritul89]

I have one and make sure I wear it at least once a day....

[@harpomarx7777]

Is your head cold?

[@ummeemad4968]

Interesting

[@dontknow1684]

Abdullah can you please give the link to the exact leather strap you have on it. Thanks. Great review btw
